Famous Last Words or Da Kine News
There is a lot of stuff going on in the world, some of it horrendous some ridiculous, and still others bits are sublime. From Iraq to Russia to here in beautiful Hawaii... Let me post on a few....
Lets get the worst over with... Iraq
"I'm going to show you how an Italian dies..."
The final words of Fabrizio Quattrocchi, the Italian man taken hostage and murdered by the islamo thugs. While I dont know much about him other than he was another guy over there earning a living, I honor him for his courage in the face of sure death. He took it like a hu-man, and didnt whine like a dog.
I also honor the Italian Government for not crawling away from this beaten, like Spain or the UN did last fall.

The door to a truce is open for threemonths.
An offer from our dear friend Osama bin Laden to our "friends" in Europe. I wonder if it a sin in Islam to lie? The Koran allows for not truce or treaty with the infidelel, nor Jew nor Christian. He is truly a son of the father of lies....
The French, the Germans and the Russians didnt go along with this, they are not fooled and neither is anyone else. If a rabid dog wags his tail, better to not pet him, he'd bite you still. Bravo to them for staying their course such as it is.

"Barbie no pasaran."
I LOVED this. Being a woman of size, incensed for decades by the entertainment and fashion world's ideal of beauty, I have wondered what other people in the world thought of this...Here is our answer, in Alena "Pisklova" the viewers choice award winner in the
Russian Miss Universe online voting. She is 15 and was nominated as a joke but its no joke. The anti globalization people have picked her up as a spokesperson/icon. the
anti-barbie website is Cyrillic, but there are English parts and I found it interesting. I wonder in 10 years if we will see the same forms of dissent in Iraq? I actually think it will take less time. Way to go Alena, Yo da kine wahine!
